smarter than the average bay

Rating: 7/10 (18 July 2005)

i'm not much of a fan of bays style of directing,all the flashy slow motion super fast quick cuts blurring over all the big explosions & dumb plot holes that drag his movies on for about 20 or 30 minutes too long,you know what i'm sayin,right? but,i liked the island more than I've ever liked any Micheal bay film before,even though the last half did turn into the usual bay music video melodrama,i feel the first half was enjoyable enough that by the second half, i just wasn't in the mood to nit pick.& basically thats what you have to decide,when you go see a Micheal bay movie...do you want to enjoy a fantasy,or do you want to nit pick & look for things to complain about? luckily for everyone,here you can do both!this movie is a visual treat with plenty to enjoy,& its also your typical bay,with plenty to nit pick about.my only real complaint,isn't even really the movies fault,its the trailers.i want to watch a movie,& discover its story on my own, i don't wanna know the whole story, even the twists,turns & surprises,before i ever even get to see it,because the trailer becomes a spoiler & tells me everything.its not like this story was rocket science in the first place,its definitely easy enough to figure it out on my own,but at least give me the chance to see the twists coming on my own,OK guys?
